ⓝⓞ🅞🅝🅔Now which horrendous replacement and even stronger loyalist will ultimately end up in her place?
It’s insane how easily Donald can just keep forcing his way further forward without any real resistance.
Alternative Source: AP: Pam Bondi, a Trump loyalist who oversaw Justice Department upheaval, is out as his attorney general
LemmayngTodd Blandche, apparently.
The AP article implied he was the only temporary and that the head of the EPA was being looked at for permanent replacement.
All these positions are temporary. Just like last time. Remember Jared’s position that was supposed to be peace in the Middle East? Rudy?
For me, the take away is that pressure is working to force this GOP circus to try and fail to cleanup their clusterfuck before the midterms.
That implies somebody more independent would be put in place? I have a feeling that it’s just going to be someone worse still.
Even better. The staggering incompetence of these asshats will be their not soon enough demise.
Whoever hired her should be fired

madjoLet me check the dow jones to see how to feel about this
talIn 2026, the S&P 500 is really a better metric of US large-cap performance than the Dow Jones.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dow_Jones_Industrial_Average
It is price-weighted, unlike other common indices such as the Nasdaq Composite or S&P 500, which use market capitalization.[4][5] The primary pitfall of this approach is that a stock’s price—not the size of the company—determines its relative importance in the index.
The Dow Jones index dates to before we had computers, and because it doesn’t care about market capitalization, it’s quick to compute by hand — you can just get the average of 30 numbers.
But…that also means that it doesn’t do a fantastic job of reflecting the relative impact of each of those individual companies in the index.
Instead of focusing on this, we should be looking at the DOW, it hit 50,000 recently

jjagaimoWhen Trump said we would get tired of winning, I didnt realize it meant getting tired of winning Kalshi bets on the degradation of our country
Then again I won $7 betting that she’d get removed
GhostalmediaSo, were the oral arguments with the SCOTUS the straw that broke the camel’s back?
Trump walked out on the DOJ solicitor general yesterday because oral arguments didn’t appear to be going Trump’s way.

CubitOomWhen is her trial?
She still has to testify in front of Congress on April 14, we’ll start there.
Does she though? I could see the administration stonewalling by claiming that she no longer represents it in that capacity. I even wonder if ducking her testimony was a primary motive in doing this now.
She was subpoenaed by name, not by title, and just because she is not in the AG role anymore doesn’t mean she can’t be subpoenaed and legally compelled to appear by Congress. She absolutely still has information Congress has the authority to compel her to provide.
See Hillary and Bill Clinton just a few weeks ago, or Hillary being subpoenaed about Benghazi in 2015, long after she stopped being Secretary of State.
NekoKonekoI would absolutely expect the GOP to withdraw (or use congressional procedure to effectively withdraw) the subpoena, however.
AngryDeuceIf i was her loved ones I would have her on “suicide” watch.
Hard to believe she has any.
Yeah my bad, I forgot for a minute that she’s disgusting in every single way.
Yes she does, the subpoena still applies. But I wouldn’t doubt if Trump didn’t know that when he fired her.
Hoping she has an ounce of dignity and humanity and goes scorched earth on Trump et al. during the testimony
artyomHonestly don’t know what they can do anymore. One would think a convicted felon has to go to prison but instead we made them President.
Wouldn’t be surprised if she just refused to go and nothing happened to her.
AkasazhWhen is not know yet, but it’s location is in Salem.
She’s not a witch for protecting pedophiles, she’s a conspirator.
ThePowerOfGeekI can only assume her replacement is going to stonewall releasing the Epstein files even harder.
SarcasticManShe will get a bench in federal court or SCOTUS if Alito or Thomas retire in the next year.
Did she threaten to release some files? They have a name I can’t remember …they haven’t been mentioned in a while.

I’m sure the next asshole’s gonna be just as bad or worse, but lol go fuck yourself Bondi 🖕😆🖕
Dont get me wrong…..this person should experience the fullest justice.
However, I am getting Brownshirt vibes here. The Tangerine Fuhrer is getting rid of his high-profile scapegoats. This is damage control.
Release the Epstein Files
